I've visited here twice now and it's a top-notch place. Very nice staff and a great facility. I highly recommend!!!

Wonderful establishment. My parents are very happy to be there. The management and organization of the facility, the food, and the quality and attentiveness of the staff are all outstanding. Couldn't be happier. I personally have experience with other homes, and this is one of the finest I have seen. Top marks.

My husband stayed at Canterbury Place for two weeks while I was away. It is a beautiful place with excellent food. The amenities provided something for everyone. The staff was friendly and extremely competent. The residents' interest and care was of paramount importance. We feel fortunate to have access to a home away from home when needed.

Magnificent place. Has a certain warmth like home. Very accommodating and polite staff with a great smile.

My husband was in short term respite. He was treated with respect, dignity and love. The staff love their work and their residents and it permeates throughout the gorgeous building. The enterainment director, Simone Rowe, has a real eye for decorating and the parties are absolutely special along with the entertainment. Always happy residents.

DELMANOR NORTHTOWN

I've been here seven years. I like a lot of things, but mostly I like the fact we have a washer and dryer in the suite, and it's peaceful! We're looked after! We have a lady coming to clean the house once a week... This is my home! I'm quite happy here!

Kristina and her team are fantastic! The staff are all so kind and amazing, not to mention the delicious food from the chefs.

My father spent his final decade in the wonderful community and care of Delmanor. Bless you all.

Delmanor was home to my uncle for about 15 years. During this time the staff went above and beyond in helping to care for him and always make him feel at home. Tracy, Sabina, Tatiana, Arlene, the entire nursing staff, and the concierges were always reliable, friendly, and compassionate. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did.

I am beyond blessed to call Delmanor Northtown my home away from home. Over the last 5 years, I have had an opportunity to work with the most cohesive, compassionate, caring team that give 110% of themselves every day! The residents are incredible individuals who fill my days with programs, events, stories and most of all, their companionship and love. I can not think of a better place to work or a better place for our residents to be and stay engaged, active and live their best lives. Thank you to the amazing team and residents!
